strawhar ripen for Christmas The
transition from winter to spring IS little
marked. In February and March we are
apt to have some raw and windy weather,
but the seasons when the mercury falls
much into the degrees Of frost are rare.
In summer the rains are ne more, and we
have an almost UNMARRIED succession Of sun
shiny days The heat, however, is
not oppressive, the mercury rarely
rising 10 100 degrees or over. Even
when it touches the maximum, the heat IS
not so oppressive as it is at corresponding
degree east. The difference is due to the
dry condition Of cur atmosphere. sun
strokes are here unknown. The nights
are uniformly cool, and one sleeps with
comfort under blankets the whole summer
through.

LAST Saturdays edition of the
JOURNAL raised several breezes.
Words of commendation, notably
from Barton, have reached us, how
ever, to the effect that the JOURNALS
advice at this juncture was the only
true course for the miners to pursue.
The JOURNAL adopted the latter half
of the policy inculcated by Longfellow
in the psalm of Life:''
Learn to labor and to wait
And the masses who already know how
to labor have shown that they are apt
pupils in the other line of study.
Those, of course, who dislike both the
''hour and article" of work would
naturally kick at the additional task
of waiting. Instinct and habit make
up a combination too irresistible to
be checked by anything that is not
immovable.
To return. In the language of a
Frostburg miner-a man of breadth,
sense and interest at said-"O,
the JOURNAL is right, of course, as it
always is"
And this brings us to the debate on
the character of "The French Spy"
Two ministers Of the gospel quoted
the JOURNAL last Sunday in their dis
courses, and gave it credit for
trenchant condemnation of very
questionable scene.
Many disagree with these excellent
gentlemen and ourselves, notwith-
standing the fact that when the cur
tain rose the astonishment of the
audience was visibly intense and the
very stiffness of death reigned Even
the boys, the effusive, demonstrative
boys, were struck dumb for once.
That was the instantaneous verdict of
an audience predisposed to applaud
anything out of the ordinary track.
Says Rev. William Scott Downey
Works of art however grand. sink into
insigniticance when compared with woman,
that wonder of creation.
But for public exposure the JOURNAL,
in the interest of ciety,infnitely pre-
fers the pulseless canvas and unpal-
! pitating marble.

JOHN r. Ross, burker, of Baltimore,
plead not guilty, was convicted, then
confessed.
William Williams, lncendiary, of
Frostburg, confessed, plead not guilty,
and was acquitted.
Ross will be hung.
Williams has been returned to the
bosom of his family.
This species of judicial consistency
teaches that the neck is liable to inju-
ry by arranging the comedy of plead
ing not guilty to precede the drama of
confession.
The programme, therefore, should
be inverted then have the jury enter
with the smashing tragedy-the grand
conversion act, which assures the sim
ner that he is a saint that when he
confesses, he lies; and every time he
lies he confesses.
